Violas

Hey
Sadly all my company has left and the house is very quiet. This painting I started last week after I watched a video on Youtube done by my Painting Friend Ann. I became so inspired to paint and the granddaughters were watching tv, so I sat down and started this. I finished it yesterday after everyone left. It is from a photo provided by another Painting Friend Ruth for our Monthly Mindbender.
This is watercolor done on Arches 140 cp block 8"by 10"
I think it speaks of summer and happiness. I want to thank everyone for looking and please add a comment as I love reading them.

Hi Autumn Yes I painted this on dry paper. I drew the flowers on first, then for each flower I wet the paper and dropped in color. After it dried I put more color on to darken them. I did the leaves the same way, for the background I wet the paper and just dropped in different colors. Thank you for liking this.
